Iran faces unprecedented drought as water crisis hits Tehran
Published: 11/9/2025

Iran faces unprecedented drought with reservoirs nearly empty, leading to a water crisis in Tehran and other provinces. President Masoud Pezeshkian warns of possible water rationing and even evacuating Tehran if rainfall doesn't increase. The situation is compounded by aging infrastructure, war damage, and dwindling water supplies in areas like Mashhad. Iran's government is urging citizens to conserve water and preparing for potential water cuts as meteorological officials predict no rainfall in the near future.
